| LCDs | What is LCD?
LCD is short for 'liquid crystal display' which is a type of display
that uses an array of crystals in front of a backlight source. When
voltage is applied to these crystals they twist to allow varying
amounts of light to pass through color filters, this is a process that
happens at every pixel to essentially display the entire image on the
screen or TV.
LCDs consume less electricity and produce less heat than plasmas and use a screen coating that reflects very little light reflecting glare benefiting viewing in bright rooms. The LCD technology allows for the production of very light weight televisions.
